Morning Glory Muffins

As the weather gets chillier, we are having fun coming up with more seasonal recipes using our honeys! Here is a Big Island Bees take on a bakery staple; morning glory muffins with a Hawaiian twist of raw Macadamia Nut Blossom honey and mac nut butter. These are also dairy- and egg- free, so they’re great for people with food allergies. Enjoy!

1/3 cup coconut oil

1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp macadamia nut butter

1/2 cup Macadamia Nut Blossom Honey

2 Tbsp brown sugar

1/3 cup ground flaxseeds

1 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour

2 tsp ground cinnamon

3/4 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 tart apple (such as honeycrisp) cored and grated

2 medium carrots, grated

1/2 cup dried cherries

1/2 cup coconut flakes
